During the investigation, child abuse detectives developed evidence that led to a search warrant being executed Friday at a home in the 200 block of Owensville Road in West River.

Detectives seized various pieces of computer equipment and found apparent images of child pornography during a scan of the computers. Police also said evidence showed the child porn images were shared on the Internet.

Police said they identified the suspect as Sergei William Noack, 22. He was charged with 10 counts of possession of child pornography and one count of distribution of child pornography.

The Anne Arundel County Police Department is asking anyone with information to call child abuse Detective Andrea Ringler at 410-222-3484.
